A Paragraph on Humanity

Humanity

Humanity refers to the quality of being humane; the kind feelings, dispositions, and sympathies of man; especially, a disposition to relieve persons or animals in distress, and to treat all creatures with kindness and tenderness. Actually we live in a limitless world, which has granted us the right to be free and equal and has given us the opportunity to learn from one another. It tried to teach us the differences between us and the fact that they make us equal, not tear us apart. It has tried to teach us what is important in the world. As a part of humanity we should stop fighting about democracy in other countries and start asking if we really have a say in our own country. We should exercise the right to vote and strengthen the mechanisms of government as power corrupts even the most strong-minded. We should stop giving the right to decision to a small group just because they say they know best. We know best and, even if we don`t, the collective power would decide what is best. It should not let them be the new aristocracy. We should promote meritocracy in our community, not mediocrity. We must not say to your children that it is okay to be average; rather we have to say to them that we all must thrive to achieve our full potential. We must lead by example in all aspects of our lives, not by simply following the herd. No, it`s not okay to be average if we haven`t tried to be more than that. Yes, we need carpenters, plumbers, electricians, but if we are one of them it does not mean we are average. It means we have the opportunity to learn how to become the best in that field. We should stop taking pictures of plants and animals to show to our friends and family. Humanity will be increased if we look at the plants, animals, beauty of what nature created to our own eyes, not a camera. We also have to share this beauty with our friends and family by bringing them to witness the majestic wonders near us. While technology and democracy have given us the power to fast forward the world in which we live in, it has also corrupted us. It has given us the sense of absolute power and knowledge that makes a person feels like God. No, we are not gods and we cannot decide on the fate of others. They only have that right. But we can and we must change ourselves by taking knowledgeable decisions, making the right choices in life and not letting others decide for us.
